History

About McKenzie Farms

McKenzie “Ken” Cook started SIGNATURE TREES in 1991. His thirty years of experience in the retail / wholesale horticultural field provided the background and understanding required to grow a quality Christmas tree. Moreover, guided by his association with Walt Disney, he also strived to transform the traditional business / customer relationship; the customer came to be viewed as a guest in all business interactions. In short, the concept was quite simple; grow and procure the highest quality Christmas trees in the industry for those appreciating the very best in quality, shipping, and service.

The McKenzie Farms “Signature Tree” has become the standard of excellence in the industry. Each tree is hand selected by the owners, management, and experienced McKenzie Farm’s Team members. The density, color, and fullness of each “Signature Tree” selected must meet rigid standards of quality.

SIGNATURE TREES was sold to COLOR SPOT in 1998; it was repurchased in 2001 by Ken and renamed McKenzie Farms. The family owned business includes daughter Carey Anderson, son-in-law John Anderson, and son Thomas Cook. The same standards of excellence that inspired the creation of SIGNATURE TREES are now the established hallmark of McKenzie Farms.

Our Team of professionals is experienced, customer driven, results oriented, and most importantly, dedicated to the on-time delivery of high quality Christmas trees for your particular needs.

We believe that the “spirit of Christmas” lives within each McKenzie Farms Christmas tree. We invite you to call us and/or come to Oregon to visit our plantations to see our “McKenzie Farms Advantage.”

Our commitment to environmental awareness and preservation is reflected in every aspect of our business. A real Christmas Tree is an environmentally friendly “forever green” choice for both the grower and the end user. The fresh cut Christmas Tree has always been the center of light, hope and beauty, bringing with it an old fashioned magic, welcome in changing times.

We take great pride in the fact that the Christmas Trees we plant, nurture and harvest are sustainable, replenishable and 100% biodegradable. One to two new seedlings are planted for every Christmas Tree that is harvested. As caring stewards of the land and water, we comply with the highest environmental standards and regulations.

McKenzie Farms is committed to conducting our business in a manner that is “forever green” and environmentally responsible. We fulfill this commitment by:

Complying with environmental regulations

Planting trees that produce oxygen for mankind

Provide safe habitat for wildlife

Christmas trees reduce soil erosion

Promote living christmas trees rather than the artificial trees

Encourage recycling the fresh cut christmas tree into mulch

Christmas Trees are a “forever green” gift to our planet. They produce oxygen, remove carbon dioxide from the air, protects our shrinking habitat, replenishes the soil and requires no irrigation. Protection of the land and water resources for future generations is our quest. Making responsible and informed decisions establishes McKenzie Farms as a leader in the Christmas Tree industry. We are “forever green.”

Respectfully,McKenzie Farms
Growers of signature Christmas Trees
